ABOUT THE JOB:
Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep
the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering
challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead
complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering
expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects
through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules,
identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're
equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to
executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development
with engineers.
Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of
various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes
and driving the technical directions of your programs.

a better browser (on both desktop and mobile) to help users take advantage of
all the web has to offer in a safe and secure way.Chrome is available across all
major platforms — iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS. We also built
Chrome as an open source project so the entire web ecosystem could benefit from
the latest innovations in speed, simplicity and security.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
